Train n' play!
Pet care experience
I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Currently I am working on becoming a dog trainer! I am working through Naughty Boyz to get my certification. As well as, I volunteer for EHS and GEARS!! My training style is positive reinforcement. I also have a 3 year old reactive pup myself, so I am more than comfortable to watch and walk any dogs with behaviorial issues. Lastly, I'm happy to help and support any training the family may be currently working on.
Reviews
Tessa was an amazing sitter for my little guy and kept me updated constantly! She was thorough and attentive. Can’t wait to have Tessa come watch my boy again!
Tessa is calm and patient with my hesitant, suspicious and protective dog. After a few sessions, Tessa is building a great bond with Ocho. She uses positive reinforcement and let's Ocho move to the next stage when he's ready to. He is listening to her, responding and trusting her. And I trust her with my tricky dog!
Great communication:) thx Tessa!
Tessa is an awesome dog sitter/walker. She has walked our dogs for us multiple times and dog sat for 2 weeks while we were away for vacation. For dog sitting, she took our dogs on all the walks she asked her (one morning and one afternoon/evening dog park), fed them like we asked, interacted with them and ask permission to give them treats. She did not just walk them and let them out, she spend the extra time to make them feel safe and comforted while we were away. For dog walking, we told Tessa our general path and how long each walk takes, and she made sure she walked them for an equal length and distance, occasionally mixing it up and taking them for a new adventure. She has good control over them at the dog park and was able to get them there and back without any hiccups. They are always so happy to see her!

Like I have mentioned before I have a dog training background which helps me best support your pup however they need! I also have my own pet friendly SUV, so I'm able to drive to any of your furry friends favorite parks!! I've got long lines, treats bags, clickers, collapsible waterbowls, dog whistle, as well as fun toys like flirt poles and jolly egg! So even if you lack the tools or toys I've got more than enough to bring and share with your pup while I watch them! Physical and mental enrichment is my top priority!!
